چکیده
|
Throughout the world, many migrant and mobile populations are at elevated risk for hiv. iran has a large immigrant population from neighboring afghanistan; however, few data exist on the prevalence of hiv in this community. in 2008, we conducted a study to assess the presence of hiv infection among 477 immigrants in a town to the northeast of tehran using a rapid test in the field. hiv prevalence was 0.2% (95% ci 0.005-1.2) with one person hiv-positive. we recommend periodic hiv sero-surveillance with detailed behavioral measures for this population in the future.
